Powderhorn Golf Course
Played On 08/12/2018Very bad Fairways
Lots of dead grass spots all over the fairways. Guess that's why price was so low. Pace of play on front was fast, ran into horrible backup on back 9. No starter managing pace. Unplayable pace, 2 some, 4 some, 3 some, 4 some. Bunch of hackers slowing my rhythm down. I don't like waiting in between shots. Player look for lost balls forever or take forever to chip and putt.
Manakiki Golf Course
Played On 07/21/2018Bad Pace of Play / Pairing
Typical golfnow tactic by starter to pair a single with someone or 203 some. Don't like to let people go off the back 9. Pace was slow. Seems like back 9 was over booked, ran into absolute wait on foursome playing slow, not letting a single play through. Too bad because I like this course. Can't seem to find courses in Cle that are managing pace of play properly!
Berkshire Hills Golf Course
Played On 07/13/2018Bad Pace of Play - And pairing singles
Typical golfnow tactic of pairing you with a twosome or 3 some. Crazy backed up at number 1 tee. Not sending off the back. Poor management of tee-times. Made for an awful slow round. Unable to play through foursomes behind foursome all very slow pace.
St. Denis Golf Course
Played On 06/29/2018Great shape, no pace of play issues!
Seems like during the week pace of play isn't an issue. They never try to paor me up with other golfnow twosomes. It was wide open! Course is in great shape. Prefer to play here if I can get a good deal via golfnow. Regular rates seem a bit high. Guess I gotta pay if I don't want to deal with pace of play issues.
Powderhorn Golf Course
Played On 07/29/2016Nice Course!
This course had some challenging holes. First time I played it an I really liked it. It was kept nice. Fairways and greens in good shape. Tree lined holes, water and sand hazards in all the right spots. Some wide open fairways off the tee and some tree lined. Two par 4 you can maybe drive the green but you have 10 years between sand traps or hazards to work with. Couple holes with water right in front of the green. Made it hard but fun to go for it! Pace of play was OK the ranger came out and said he sorry we have some people slowing you up. Most times I don't even see a ranger come out and look at that to see if something can be done so that's good!
Pace of play rant for all courses in NE OH on Fridays..... I've had some bad luck on Fridays with pace of pay at a lot of courses in NE Ohio this year. A lot of retired people not used to a single or double pushing them and wanting to play through. I guess the big problem is some foursomes think because there's another group in front of them holding them up you can't play through them and then the other group. Or in this case they wanted us to play through every time they got on the green and we would be hitting into them as they stand around the green, so we waived them on. But they never waited on the next tee to let us play through. Some courses haves been foursome after foursome and all backed up like it's a league in the middle of the day. That's just bad starter/tee time management.
St. Denis Golf Course
Played On 07/09/2016Great Course
Pace of play on a Sat. afternoon was great, hardly anyone in front or behind me! Great price at 60% off. Their regular price weekend rates are too high! This course lay out is nice with some water, hills, and trees but not too bad with the trees. Fairways are wide open a lot. Greens are fast. Breaks are weird, more less looks like break but not as much as really there. Overall I like playing this course. It's not super challenging now that I'm getting used to it but some holes are more difficult. if I can pick up a golfnow deal on it I will!

Played On 07/01/2016Good Value for a nice course!
Other than really slow play on a Friday it was great. I ended up going off the back 9 and it was wide open. The front was jammed up all day so even when I finished the back 9 I had really slow play on the front. But the course was good and some tight fairways makes for some tough shots. Some blind tee shots. You really have to play the right distance a lot. Makes it fairly challenging. I will play again.
Hemlock Springs Golf Club
Played On 06/25/2016Good Value for a nice course!
The greens were kept nice. Fairways were better than expected condition. This is not a top notch course, so I would say the fairways, roughs, and greens are on par with the type of course. But definitely not a low level course like Pleasant valley. I would compare this course to St. Dennis and Pine ridge Where the course is the condition of a $30 round. The Fairways are a little less well kept. Although St Dennis and Pineridge are more expensive as of late! Wide open on the drives. Not super challenging. The slopes on the greens make it challenging. Easier than most courses to get to a lot of greens in two with good shots.
Berkshire Hills Golf Course
Played On 06/19/2016Nice course
I think without the golfnow price the course is overpriced. With some of the cheaper golf now rates like under $20 it's a great value! I say its a $25-$30 course for 18 and a cart.The greens are very challenging. The fairways are kept nice. Playing by yourself on a weekend is tough when a lot of people out, so pace can be slow. They let me go off the back which was nice. Still had a tough time playing through a few groups of foursomes.
Manakiki Golf Course
Played On 06/04/2016One of the Better courses around
Course is always great shape and a challenging layout. Pace can be challenging. Playing by myself I always get paired up because they're always busy. Not inclined to let you play the back 9 if only doing nine :( Bit pricey if you don't get a good golfnow deal around $25 or less if good. But yeah one pf my favorite courses around as far as challenging, and condition and layout go. The staff is hit or miss, some older guys who aren't always super nice.

Played On 08/04/2014Challenging
Tough course. Greens fast and lots of breaks. Some fairway bunkers came into play. Lots of trees came into play.
River/Maple at Fowler's Mill Golf Course
Played On 5/29/2013Very slow play
Awesome course, got to play the River and Lake which are the best 18 out of the 27 holes they have! Unfortunately too many groups in a row so very slow play and we could not play through
danders1,
Thank you for the great 4-Star review! We are sorry to hear you had a slow pace of play, but we hope you give the course another shot soon!
Best regards,
Hawthorne Valley Management
